I made these patches for my boyfriend for his birthday. The first is the logo he drew for his band Buckface. This is the death metal version of the logo, even though they're not a death metal band, just kinda punk. It's a little smeary on the bottom left but it's my first freezer paper stencil so I'm just happy it came out OK. Second is the Dimmu Burger patch. Dimmu Borgir is a black metal band from Norway that is AWESOME. I don't know who thought of turning it into the Burger King logo but the first time I saw it was on our favorite show Metalocalypse, when Nathan Explosion had the nightmare that he wasn't a rock star anymore and had to work in a fast food place.

Jessica Rabbit, what can I say about her that hasn't been said?? I used the glitter fimo for a little extra zing, which now that I look at it isn't all that visible in the picture. I'll re-take them in better light tomorrow.....

I've been picturing this in my head for months and finally got off my butt and made it. It's a tribute to my favorite band in the whole world, RAMONES!! A RIP for Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee, with a shrinky heart especially for my beloved Joey.

I got this HUGE (22/24W) turquoise shirt for $3 at Target and threw it in my to-be-reconned pile (with about 20 other things that still need work...). Took it in, added the eyelet ribbon and glittery skulls and VIOLA, it's now a fab top for hitting the town

My very small jewelry box had been getting might crowded. I though I'd buy one of those large corkboards and just hang all my necklaces with pushpins. Staples wanted around $30 for any of the decent sized ones, so I bought these little corkboard pieces instead. I'm really happy with how it turned out, and it's easily expandable for when I make more jewelry.the overall viewindividual view of each board.

My son has now won two TWO costume contests with this Mugatu (from Zoolander) costume that I made him

Here's the original:

and here's my version:

We unfortunately do not have a little dog for him to carry around, and he'd kill me if he saw I posted these! I'll get a couple more pictures tomorrow, with his friend Amy (whose demented little red rding hood costume I also made), but I was so impressed that he won two contests that I couldn't wait to post these!!

far away shot, then close up, I made the bead from a flat-back glass bead (like the ones used in floristry), then glued a picture of red leopard print (from a magazine) to the back, wrapped it in polymer clay and put a head pin in it for the loop

imitation cinnaber and yet more carnelian beads (I must've been on a carnelian kick that month)

all made with seed beads, they're tiny but I love them and haven't made any jewelry without using them for like a million years
